Full job description

ACC Relief Emergency Call Handler SAS

We are now recruiting for full and part time permanent Emergency Call Handlers to work within our Ambulance Control Centre (ACC), based in East ACC: Edinburgh.

If you’ve been in an emergency, you’ll know that the 999 call is answered promptly and professionally. But have you ever thought about what actually happens at the other end of the emergency line?

Our Emergency Call Handlers are critical in allowing us to provide life-saving advice and assistance to callers. They’re the first point of contact for the public, and they work to prioritise each call, provide effective life support, first aid and medical advice where necessary and liaise with ambulance crews on route to the emergency, also dealing with Police and other emergency services.

The Person

Applicants that do not currently work in the ACCs will be required to take a typing assessment and must be able to type at a minimum of 30 wpm with a 90% accuracy. They must also demonstrate the ability to work effectively under pressure and with minimal supervision.

You will also need excellent communication skills, the ability to prioritise and make decisions quickly, often under great pressure.

Ideally you will have experience in working with the public either already in the ACC, a healthcare setting, a contact centre environment or on a face to face basis.

Training and Working Pattern

If you have what it takes to make a difference then we’ll give you all the training you need to succeed.

You will attend our in-house training programme, which may require travel for 2 weeks training, after which you will need to be available full time for up to 10 weeks to enable you to become a certified Emergency Medical Dispatcher.

The working hours for these posts will be full time and part time relief including; bank holidays, weekends and unsocial hours
